FamilySearch Full-Text Search is a technique that finds specific information within a large corpus of text. It goes beyond keyword matching, and analyzes the content of documents to identify relevant results based on the user's search query. It is an exciting new way to find information in over 100 million historical records that have not been indexed on FamilySearch.
Often described as "game changing," FamilySearch's new Full-Text Search experiment allows searching of every name and every word in supported collections, including a large number of U.S. land and probate records. This presentation explains how to utilize the full power of Full-Text Search using real-life examples . Bring your laptop or tablet and learn how to search for your ancestors using FamilySearch Full-Text Search.
